   \item Version 1 (V1) is scheduled to be functional by the end of this quarter. It implements the vast
majority of functionality, but leaves out a few features for the
sake of time.  
   \item Version 2 (V2) has a TBA schedule.

\subsection*{The Name:}
   Tube Truck protocol was named for the distinguished Senator
from Alaska, Ted Stevens. In his famous quote (reproduced above),
Mr. Stevens lamented the disparity between tube and truck-based
conceptions of the Internet. Tube Truck protocol seeks to bridge
the gap, allowing users to dump data into their applications and
have that data sent down the tubes of the Internet. Users can finally
treat the Internet like a truck.

\subsection*{Packet Names and Silly Cats:}
The names of our packets are taken from a humerus Internet phenomenon
called ``LOLCats.'' LOLCat pictures are of cats doing silly things
and captioned with silly, broken English. This protocol is heavily
influenced by the interests of the internet: anonyimity, security,
democracy. It seemed appropriate to name the components of the
protocol in the Internet tradition.
